As someone not used to the Kingston Park conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Kingston Park
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Kingston Park and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, selling agent and sometimes a bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Kingston Park is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

Do Skipton recommend any Kingston Park solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Kingston Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
I have paid off my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Kingston Park solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Most houses in Kingston Park are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process.
